Russia on Thursday launched an all-out invasion of Ukraine by land, air and sea, the biggest attack by one state against another in Europe since World War Two. Russian President Vladimir Putin says his aim is to demilitarise and 'denazify' Ukraine.

Putin issued a statement saying, “To anyone who would consider interfering from the outside: if you do, you will face consequences greater than any you have faced in history. All relevant decisions have been taken. I hope you hear me."

Russian attacks have now been reported in all parts of Ukraine.

Following this, multiple blasts were reported from Ukraine. Pictures and videos of missiles, blasts and sirens in Ukraine have also taken over social media.
